Threat actors are gaining an unfair advantage.
Legacy detection and response tools rely on someone else being patient zero. But AI-crafted, single-use malware makes your organization patient zero. Infoblox Threat Defense gives you the advantage. Using a unique preemptive approach to threat detection, it blocks attacker infrastructure before it’s weaponized and stops threats before they reach users, devices or cloud workloads.
BENEFITS
Why Infoblox Threat Defense?
PRODUCT DETAILS
Infoblox security products
Infoblox stops threats before they strike, using DNS-first security and predictive intelligence to preempt attacks across cloud, core, edge, remote users and IoT.
Infoblox Threat Defense delivers preemptive protection by blocking threats at the DNS layer—before they spread, impact users or burden downstream tools.
With the new Security Workspace, security teams get real-time visibility and guidance to proactively reduce risk.
SOC Insights applies AI analytics to security events, networks, assets and unique DNS threat intel data to distill tens of thousands of alerts to a handful, helping you uncover hidden threats and enhance SOC efficiency with enriched asset visibility.
Lookalike domains are a growing threat that deceives victims and negatively impacts your brand. Threat actors use thousands of them, but Infoblox’s proactive monitoring identifies these threats early to avoid brand compromise.
Threat actors use creative domain names to support a wide variety of attacks. Infoblox can leverage its deep ties with global regulators, ISPs, registrars and law enforcement to validate and take down domains that threaten your organization or brand.
The Infoblox Security Ecosystem maximizes existing security investments while enhancing security by seamlessly integrating with various tools, enabling real-time threat detection and response, automating tasks and improving operational efficiency.

“With Infoblox, we have much more complete context around and insight into our security data. Instead of us trying to figure out and correlate the data and understand something like, how are DNS requests going to this website? Before, it was a lot of work to do that. But not anymore. [Infoblox] took that guesswork out.”
Find threats that other tools miss
Infoblox sees every DNS request from every device, whether on-premises, remote, IoT or OT, and blocks 82% of threats before impact, 68.4 days earlier than other tools, with a 0.0002% false positive rate.

KEY CAPABILITIES
Threat Defense key capabilities
Infoblox Threat Defense delivers preemptive security through Protective DNS, stopping threats before they spread to users, workloads and cloud environments.
Infoblox tracks more than 204,000 active threat actor clusters by monitoring how attackers build infrastructure—domains, servers and distribution systems—long before an attack is launched.
By identifying these early signals, Infoblox blocks 82% of threats before the first DNS query, on average 68.4 days ahead of other tools.
Armed with predictive intelligence and real-time visibility, security teams gain the critical time advantage to prevent damage before it begins.
DNS queries are constantly analyzed with behavioral models and machine-learning-trained algorithms to detect zero-day domains, domain generation algorithms and stealthy malware activity.
Infoblox’s algorithmic engine adapts to attacker innovation and goes far beyond static threat feeds.
As the DNS resolver, Infoblox sees every DNS request from any device, on-premises, remote, IoT or OT—with or without agents or firewalls. This agentless infrastructure-neutral coverage eliminates blind spots across your hybrid environment.
Infoblox is the only vendor to combine Protective DNS (PDNS) and DDI in a single, unified Protective DDI platform, making it easier to manage, secure and scale DNS across your enterprise.
Unlike DNS security embedded in NGFWs or SASE, Infoblox assesses risk in real time and blocks threats in-line before they cause impact.
Manage insider risks by monitoring high-risk application usage or blocking unsanctioned applications. Our application discovery feature provides full visibility and control over applications and technologies, like file sharing and generative AI.
Threat actors use lookalike domains to deceive users into visiting malicious websites. Increasingly creative and targeted, these domains pose a growing threat to organizations. Infoblox protects against common lookalikes and can monitor for targeted lookalikes.
Submit your domains for lookalike monitoring, and when a threat is identified, leverage takedown services to eliminate threats to your users, customers or brand quickly.
Deep Asset context to instantly attribute users, devices and workloads without digging through logs.
Quick user and device attribution speeds up investigations and incident response, giving your analysts the “who, what, where” context around security events without digging through logs or stitching together data from multiple tools.
Faster investigations, fewer pivots and clearer communication of the business impact that was avoided thanks to preemptive DNS-layer protection.
